If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

“The Great Geysers of California” by Laura De Force Gordon, 1879, unearthed from a 100-year-old time capsule in San Francisco, 1979.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”

Gordon Bowsher to Gilbert Bradley, 1940s

reading these fragments always makes me cry

As we’re rounding into Pride Month, important reminder: you don’t owe anybody shit. Not an explanation for why you haven’t come out yet, or why you’ve only come out to some people, or why you came out as one thing five years ago and have since found a word that fits better around your shoulders. Not proof of identity as granted by who you’re dating, or not dating, or whether or not you’ve slept with someone. You don’t owe people short hair, or painted nails, or top surgery, or a rainbow flag splashed across your t-shirt. Nobody gets to tell you you’re not gay enough to fit because you haven’t been with someone of the “appropriate gender”, or that your gender presentation isn’t enough to make you trans, or that you just haven’t figured it out yet, like that’s some kind of insult. Figuring it out is a lifelong learning curve. You’re allowed to take as much time as you want. And to take more time after you think you’re already settled. And to feel completely rooted in the words you discovered at fifteen. You get to say who you are. Nobody else gets to police that shit. Pride is personal, first and foremost. It belongs to you. Any celebration of Pride that tries to cut those corners and box you in has missed the point completely.
